Late and Later

I’m late this morning with my Monday post for a couple of reasons. One, I stayed up last night to watch a cult movie that was filmed in Santa Cruz, my neighborhood. The Lost Boys was a 1987 vampire tale with Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest. I know the trailer looks grim, but this is one vampire movie you’ll laugh through. Hoaky and fun.

The second reason I’m late is about a little accident. It seems I’ve done in my right shoulder and to some extent my right hand and those five digits attached. I can only use that whole apparatus for a few hours before I have to stop, ice it, and down some pain killers. Long story. But I’m now in physical therapy and hoping for a quick recovery. I’ll be putting a lot of things on hold for a while, so I’m putting up the “Gone Fishing” sign until after Christmas.

The Princess of Las Pulgas is on sale for .99 for Christmas. Here’s the coupon if you’d like to download it or share the sale. AU57U

I will post on Dec. 21 for the DECEMBER WEP, and I will try to get around to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and any other holiday you decorate for and celebrate–just a little slower than usual.

Sorry to hear about your injuries. It's really hard to only be able to use one arm. Almost exactly three years ago, I stabbed my right wrist with a purple paring knife, and suffered some minor nerve damage. Though I'm predominantly left-handed anyway, it was still hard to only have one functional arm for dressing, driving, and other things during the healing process.

Sounds painful! 🙁 Here's hoping the therapy will do the trick and speed healing."The Lost Boys" was a fun film. Now I want to see it again. Thanks for the reminder. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Debbie. Grab some popcorn and a couple of warm puppies to sit on your lap and enjoy a few laughs if you see that film again. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, too. See you and your doggie crew in 2017.

I imagine how frustrating that accident has been, Lee. Ouch. I hope you're healing well and quickly. That vampire movie sounds a hoot! Glad you're in the WEP. We'll all enjoy a break over the holiday season and into January for sure. Be well…:-)

Get well soon, Lee. Sending you healing power across the ether. Have a super holiday season and look forward to 'seeing' you in the new year. Take care and thanks for all the inspiring posts you've given us throughout the year. You are so great!!

I love that movie! The old man always giving the kids stuffed animals is so funny especially the varmint that goes in the closet. It's really quite good and very funny. I hope you will get better sooner than later but it sounds like you may have pulled some tendons which is quite painful.

Oh, your accident sounds painful. Here's to successful therapy and a quick recovery. I like movies that make me laugh. I'm not a big vampire fan, but will have to check on this one. Great quote and I loved the Princess of Las Pulgas

I'm so sorry to learn that you took a spill and hurt yourself just in time for the holidays. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

I saw The Lost Boys when it was originally released in theaters. It was my first exposure to Keifer Sutherland and also starred a vampire brat pack of other cool up-and-coming stars including Jason Patric, "the two Coreys" and Jami Gertz, a long time favorite actress of mine.

I wish you well in your physical therapy, dear friend. I'll be thinking about you. Please take care.

*hugs* Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I was lifting weights a couple of years ago and ended up with an impingement. Lots of physical therapy. It's not been a quick fix. I hope you're more fortunate.
